GOING:

Race 9 1400m

Track:      

Mani Hero should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. GARM CAT (7) has switched yards since finishing second three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1600m at Kochi. Nicely placed here and expected to go well. ROMANCE GRAY (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on December 16, finishing fourth over 1700m at this track. Has ability and should be right in the finish. FLASH FREEZE (4) finished fifth over 1500m at this track at her most recent appearance on December 19. Comes here with definite top-three claims. SUPER CHANDO (11) hit the frame two starts ago at Funabashi but ran below par last time when seventh over 2200m at Funabashi. Nicely placed to turn things around.
